The video for "She Loves Me Not" shows the band playing in a dilapidated theme park which people are using as a social gathering. The content is mostly performance based with cuts to people in the park who are vandalizing it, fighting, etc. It was directed by David Meyers.
At three points in the video, a person appears out of nowhere in front of the camera for a single frame, similar to methods used in subliminal messaging.
She Loves Me Not
Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look into my eyes
Then I realize that she can see inside my head
So I close my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
This situation is to agitation
Will she cut me off?
I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not
Over the past five years
I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watched my fears fly away
And until this day
She still swings my way
But its sad to say
Sometimes she says she loves me not
But I hesitate, to tell her I hate
This relationship, I want out today
This is over
I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Life's not fair
I'm the jerk
Line for line, rhyme for rhyme
Sometimes we be fightin' all the goddamn time
Its makin' me sick
Relationship is gettin' ill
Piss drunk stupid, mad on the real
Could you feel what I feel
What's the deal girl?
Tearing up each others world
We should be in harmony, boy and girl
That is the promise we made
Back in the day
We told each other things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
Its alright baby, we can scream and shout
I don't know, if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time, this is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not
Life's not fair, life's not fair, life's not fair
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair
She loves me not, loves me not

Line by Line Meaning
When I see her eyes
Whenever I make eye contact with her
Look into my eyes
Peer deep into my soul
Then I realize that she can see inside my head
I understand that she can read my thoughts
So I close my eyes
I shut my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Foolishly believe that I can disguise my thoughts
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
Detach myself so I don't go insane
This situation is to agitation
This scenario is causing constant anxiety
If she cut me off
If she broke away from our relationship
Would this be an amputation?
Would this feel like a life-threatening injury?
I don't know, if I care
I am uncertain if I care about our relationship anymore
I'm a jerk, life's not fair
I'm not the best boyfriend, and life doesn't seem to be going my way
Fighting all the time,this is out of line
We argue incessantly, it's not healthy
She loves me not, loves me not
She may not love me at all
Do you realize I will compromise?
Are you aware that I am willing to make concessions?
Over the past five years,I have shed my tears
In five years, I've cried a lot
I have drank my beers
I've consumed a lot of alcohol
And watched my fears fly away
And witnessed my apprehensions dissipate
And until this day
Even now
She still swings my way
She still shows signs of attraction to me
But its sad to say
However, it's disheartening to admit that
Sometimes she says she loves me not
Occasionally she expresses her lack of love for me
But I hesitate, to tell her I hate,
But I'm reluctant to reveal that I despise our relationship
This relationship, I want out today, this is over
I want to terminate our relationship right now
Life's not fair, I'm a jerk
Life doesn't seem fair and I've been a poor partner
Line for line, rhyme for rhyme
Each line of this song
Sometimes we be fightin' all the goddamn time
We occasionally fight all the time, excessively
Its makin' me sick
It is irritating me
Relationship,is gettin' ill
Our relationship is deteriorating
Piss drunk stupid, mad on the real
Drunk and becoming uncontrollably angry
Could you feel what I feel
Do you empathize with how I feel?
What's the deal girl?
What's going on with you?
We're tearing up each others world
We are destructively impacting each other's lives
We should be in harmony, boy and girl
We are meant to be in sync
That is the promise we made
It's the vow we made
Back in the day
In the past
We told each other things wouldn't be this way
We ate earlier discussed that things wouldn't be this bad
I think we should work this out
I believe we should solve our issues
Its alright baby,we can scream and shout
It's okay, we can debate and argue

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I see her eyes
Look into my eyes
Then I realize that
She could see inside my head
So I close my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
This situation leads to agitation
Will she cut me off?
Will this be an amputation?
[Chorus]
I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not
Loves me not
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not
Loves me not
[Verse 2]
Over the past five years
I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watched my fears fly away
And until this day
She still swings my way
But it's sad to say sometimes
She says she loves me not
But I hesitate
To tell her I hate
This relationship
I want out today
This is over
[Chorus]
I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair
